Mothers Day

We had the Pratt family out to mom and dads for lunch. It was pretty fun.

Memorial Weekend

Hope everyone had a good, wet Memorial weekend. We did. We ruffed it in Island Park. Yeah, we stayed at a cabin on Bills Island, in a small 5,000square feet (give or take a little) cabin. We went with Brandon and his family. Brandon works with Jake. We have a lot of fun. It did rain most of the weekend but we still ventured out on the 4-wheelers. We have to go through a few drifts to get through the trails. We went until we got stuck or it started to rain too much. Preston loves to fall asleep on the 4-wheeler and Kinley loves to drive. Jake got us a new seat so we had a comfortable ride. Jake and I learned how to play pinnacle and we taught them how to play the Farming Game. We relaxed and ate most of the time. We even had so Atari, pool, and ping pong tournaments. Here are some more pictures.

Daddy/daughter date

Well, since I have mutal on Tuesdays, Jake usually keeps Kinley and I take Preston (he is a mamas boy!) Kinley usually crys when mom leaves so I had a plan for last night. Jake needed a couple things from the store because he was leaving this morning to go help on the farm. I decided that Jake and Kinley could go on a date. So all day, I got her excited to go on a date with dad. She helped clean her room even! Jake and Kinley went to Wal-Mart and she picked out a new Barbie fishing pole and got a big boucey ball (I think Jake secretly got the ball for himself!). Anyways they had a fun time.

We went to the farm yesterday and I just cut Prestons hair on Friday. So, I decided I needed to take some new pictures.

Bike ridin'

Kinley is a pro on her bike. She has figured out how to peddle her bike. She has only crashed a few times-no cries. She and the neighbor boy her age were racing yesterday. She hasn't quite figured out how to turn so she will go fast from one end of the sidewalk to the next but when she is ready to turn, she gets off her bike and turns it around. She also has us say "Ready, Set, Go!" before she will start riding.

Great Outdoor

If you know Kinley, you know my child loves to be outside. Since it has warmed up and no snow on the grass, Kinley is outside. Yesterday, I worked on pulling weeds in the garden. Kinley played outside with her baby and the craddle. She and Rosco played a little. We had to eat our lunch outside on the front step. Then we went to a swimming party at the swimming pool and had lots of fun. We came back home and what did we do? We went back outside. I pulled some more weeds and Kinley played with the garden hose. Finally at about 6pm we came inside so I could start dinner. Kinley had a fit because she was tired but didn't want to come in. At 6:30 she stopped crying and fell asleep for the night. Yes, I said 6:30 she fell asleep! She snuck into bed with me a few times but slept all night. Kids, gotta love em!

Donuts

Don't these look yummy? Well, they were. I bought a donut cutter a few weeks ago and finally made some home made donuts. It was pretty easy except for the help of 2 kids. Preston kicked the bowl with the dry ingredient onto the floor with flour everywhere (He was in his boucy chair on the kitchen table and he wiggled down far enough that he could kick the bowl I had sitting in front of him on the table. So, I started over with the dry ingedients and then as I was stirring the ingredients on the stove so they wouldn't burn, Kinley tipped her juice over on the floor, the same place as the flour. But it is so worth having stories to tell!
